@HBCraig how does selling these things work? Do these company buy new cranes for every contract they get?

@HBCraig how does selling these things work? Do these company buy new cranes for every contract they get?

If the project is long enough, yes. Many factors like emission regulations, need more lifting capacity, roadability, etc
I've been very fortunate with this good economy and am lucky I sell a prium product. Lastly, wind work has been keeping all the 750 ton and bigger cranes tied up so they need to add to their fleets.

A test piece for something @HBCraig clients will be picking.

That's a #18 rebar, rebar is always in ⅛ increments, you can do the math on bar size.

Filming. Ship is period correct. Lowering the life boats with the crane. Forget the $$$ but it's not cheap to film that scene.

At 360ft, you don't hear the machinery, or much at all from the ground. At night, that has to be as close to a "space walk" as any tradesman can get. That's just a different level of "construction" work.

Is you’re company doing the crane show on the corner of Sahara and Lv Blvd here in Lv?
They have been assembling cranes there since last week. I like to watch them assemble them when I’m home from my balcony. We have a great view of all the equipment from Turnberry.

Is the show open to public? I would like to see the cranes up close. I used to operate for my previous company long ago.

Standby gigs were easy money. I did a couple Pepperdine graduations, several stunt standbys and a 4 day Motor Trend standby all through AMR, I was even an extra with the ambulance in Dragonfly with Kevin Costner, I double dipped on that one, I was paid by AMR and the production company

Man these AMR standby gigs are easy money. My wife will be the backstage/band medic tomorrow. Hell I just made money watching the eagles play, that's a win in my book
